At TenCate Protective Fabrics, we work every day toward a safer world — for the people who wear our textiles and for the generations after us. Our ambition is to create textiles that not only protect people, but also our planet.
We produce our protective fabrics with respect for people and the environment. We do this by reducing our energy consumption, using water responsibly and using raw materials as efficiently as possible. We also strive for fair and sustainable collaboration throughout our supply chain.
Our sustainability approach focuses on five core areas that align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:
Climate – Lower emissions and increased use of renewable energy.
Water – Careful use of water and responsible wastewater management.
Resources – Efficient use and reuse of materials.
People – Safe, healthy and fair working conditions for everyone in the chain.
Innovation – New solutions that combine protection with reduced environmental impact.
For us, sustainability is not a project but a way of working. By continuously improving, making smart choices and collaborating with partners who share our values, we are building step by step toward a future-proof textile industry.
